 subcoriaceis, facie tenuiter dorso dense pubescentibus, floribus masculis in 

 paniculas deltoideas axillares dispositis in axillis bractearum glomeratis. 



bracteis magnis ovatis laciniatis pubescentibus, calyce parvo piloso segmentis 

 ovatis, starainibus paucis. 



A tree, witli robust woody branchlets, clothed towards the tip
